Sports fabric refers to materials specifically used to make sports clothing. Because sports clothing needs to have the characteristics of air permeability, moisture absorption, sweat, elasticity, wear resistance, etc., sports fabrics usually have these characteristics. The following will introduce some commonly used sports fabrics.
1. Cotton fabric: Cotton fabric has good air permeability, excellent moisture absorption, soft and comfortable. However, cotton fabrics lack elasticity and wear resistance, are prone to wrinkling, and are not suitable for high-intensity exercise.
2. Polyester fabric: Polyester fabric has good elasticity and wear resistance, but also has the characteristics of air permeability and moisture absorption. It is a synthetic fiber fabric, light texture, good wrinkle resistance, easy to clean and fast dry, very suitable for the production of sportswear.
3. Nylon fabric: Nylon fabric is a synthetic fiber fabric, with good elasticity and wear resistance. It has good elasticity, is not easy to deform, and also has the characteristics of air permeability and moisture absorption. Nylon fabric is lighter and more shiny than polyester fabric.
4. Spandex fabric: Spandex fabric is an elastic material with excellent elasticity and resilience. It can provide excellent scalability, making sportswear more fit to the body, while also increasing the flexibility and comfort of the clothing.
5. Poly-cotton blend fabric: Poly-cotton blend fabric is usually used in sportswear production, which combines the characteristics of cotton and polyester. Polyester-cotton blended fabric is soft and comfortable, breathable and moisture-absorbent, wear-resistant and washable, suitable for daily exercise and fitness.
6. Cold fabric: Cold fabric is a special treatment of textile materials, which is characterized by cooling effect. Cold fabrics can absorb the heat emitted by the body, forming a "condensing effect", making people feel cool and comfortable. This fabric is suitable for use in summer and high temperature environments.
7. Moisture wicking fabric: Moisture wicking fabric is a kind of fabric specially used for sports apparel, with excellent moisture wicking function. This fabric can quickly absorb the sweat on the body, quickly discharge it, and keep the feeling of dry and comfortable.
